This document has had only minor changes. A key change was implementation of a requirement to monitor for tritium releases during maintenance activities handling containers with gaseous tritium. (USAFE) This publication has been revised in order to incorporate changes in paragraphs to the parent 91-108, Air Force Nuclear Weapons Intrinsic Radiation and 91(B) Radioactive Material Safety Program
Publications state their own changes on page 1 — behind a PDF the official host will not serve to a search engine. This is that section, verbatim. It describes the edition above, not every historical change.
Records in this branch carrying the same series and number — interim changes, guidance memoranda, and unit supplements. A copy stamped with one of these is a different document from the base publication.
